Zanzibar Serena Hotel

The room was exquisite. Balcony on 2 sides with pool and sea views. Staff were fantastic. Food was great. Everyone genuinely friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent location and exceptional service. It’s located within the stone town and has amazing ocean views. Also has access to a small beach. The food is their restaurant is great for days when you don’t feel like going out. Breakfast in the morning is elaborate with buffet style options as well as an omelette station. The staff is excellent and very helpful in anything you need. We stayed here a few days and enjoyed our stay very much. If we ever visit Zanzibar again, we’d likely prefer staying here.

Lovely staff who were very helpful and friendly, greeting you every time you entered the premises. Housekeeping was always done to a great level and any further requests we made, was actioned promptly. One of the places in Tanzania where wi-fi was actually good. Our room was a superior double with a sea view and what a view it was. A fantastic view and a hammock to enjoy it in, although initially, it was a bit tricky to gather yourself on it! The room was spacious enough for 2 people and the bathroom was of a decent size. The location is convenient as you can walk to all the main sites within Stone Town from the hotel. Plenty of taxi’s outside to take you anyplace nearby or further away. The immediate area is quiet and the closest beach is the largest, but you can still enjoy some time there. It can get a bit crowded with locals playing beach soccer. The dining area also has a fantastic view of the sea and has great options (for breakfast anyway as that was the only meal I had at the hotel). Lots of seating area weather inside or outside.

The hotel is in a great spot. Our room had a wrap around balcony looking over the pool on one side and the sea on the other.

We stayed for one night in the hotel, we didn't have time to use any of the facilities. the staff were amazing, They would greet you with a beautiful smile every time you pass them. they were also very helpful and they will give you good recommendations, they recommended a good tour guide, also during the evening they fixed our room ( to what they call takedown) where they fix the bed with a mosquito net and spray the room with mosquito killer, which i found very thoughtful of them. Ofcourse we had food in the hotel, breakfast was authentic and very yummy, we also had diner which was grilled Fish and Shrimps, and it was heavenly. if you stay in stone town you need to eat in the roof top resturant of the hotel.
